Hey! Your HCG looks beautiful! AND you saw a heartbeat...that is wonderful. I am in a very similar boat as you. My HCG is increasing nicely, but my progesterone has only gone from a 7 to just over 10 in 3+ weeks. I have PCOS and was put on 400mg of progesterone suppositories initially, but I'll start the injections tomorrow since it hasn't gone up. Kinda nervous! I have a scan on 4/19 and I pray we see that little flicker.

I was taking progesterone injections every other day and my progesterone dropped rapidly from 10 to 7.3 in 24 hours. We went to every day and my progesterone went to 13 two days later and 21 two days after that. The shots work very quickly to increase progesterone. Good luck!

Good luck with the shots! I had to do them and they hurt me so much! It helped to use heat immediately after and watch a music video while the shot was going. They take a long time because the oil is so thick. Also run the spot in small circles for a little after to help spread out the oil. Good luck!

So - I had 2 shots (1 Wednesday, 1 Saturday) of 4 ml each, and my progesterone shot up! Had a doc visit yesterday and it'd jumped from 11.9 to 54.9 in 6 days. My doc told me to stop the shots & just continue with the suppositories (I've remained on those thru the shots) - but I'm a little nervous!

Would hate for it to drop.

Has anyone else done this & quickly got off? And have your levels remained high?
